If you've got a Gen Z staying over at your house, it may be time to hide the 'Live, Laugh, Love' signs and fluffy loo seat covers - as young people have revealed their biggest interior 'icks' of the year.

A new survey has revealed what many believe are the most outdated décor items to have at home in 2024. 

And if you own a 'welcome' door mat, net curtains, or have a colourful bathroom suite, you may be guilty of making some of the worst interior design blunders reported. 

A group of 2,000 people voted for the most 'uncool' home decoration or a new survey commissioned by Terry's Fabrics. 

Nearly a third of respondents picked taxidermy objects, or real stuffed animals, as their biggest home décor ick, while 27 per cent expressed their extreme distaste for lace curtains and fluffy loo seat covers respectively.

Meanwhile, 34 per cent of people chose leopard print rugs as the one home décor item they would ban, while 32 per cent said they couldn't stand the sight of plastic flowers and plants. 



A 'Live, Love, Laugh' sign got 31 per cent of the votes, while 29 per cent of the survey respondents said having artex ceilings constituted a grievous faux pas. 

Nearly 20 per cent of the young Brits surveyed felt white faux leather sofas were outdated, while 14 per cent picked shag pile rugs as their least favourite décor accent. 

'Welcome' mats, bohemian artefacts, floral patterned rugs, and 'Beware of dog' signs also featured on the list of home decoration sins, but a non-white bathroom suite (in hues like salmon, brown, or avocado) was voted the worst of all - earning a whopping 44 per cent of the votes. 

According to the research commissioned by Terrys Fabrics, 62 per cent of Brits are guilty of judging the interiors of other people's homes, while half admitted they have based an opinion of someone based on their interior design choices.

The survey also found that 78 per cent of men are interested in decorating their home and interiors. 

On average, Brits spend 69 days a year wondering about how they can update our homes, spending an average of £1,508 on interiors every year - adding up to over £2.9 billion a year across the country.
